@DraugrAU Happy birthday coach!

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@TheDangerTaco Sending a big internet hug homie. "You win some, you learn some; champions adjust" is my life mantra. Hoping it gives you some fuel today

@DraugrAU @Wxltzy Struth, when mom starts getting cravings for stuff he can't say no to, he'll be putting on weight

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@MealeyMPC Yes, the plot plays fully out, including context before and after. Yes, read them in that order!

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

If you're not reading, you're wrong.

Reading what, you ask? Literally anything. Seriously, any book.
Audiobooks also count.

If you're not sure where to start, ask me or tell me a genre and I got you.

I can't overstate how much you're missing out on life if you don't read.

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@MealeyMPC For fiction you might like the Wool/Silo series (Wool, Shift, Dust) by Hugh Howey! It's hyper-realistic post-apocalyptic society that's upheld the same societal standards for generations but cracks start to appear as questions start to be asked.

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@MealeyMPC Got any genres you want to venture into or topics you wanna tackle?

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@hammer_rl @AYYJAYYRL @sebdot @ButteryHotness_ Yes, intuition is trained but retraining the type and level of intuition your players had may have been a bit ambitious given the time. The amount of difference between where your players were and where you wanted them to be was likely too big. We call that performance dissonance

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@AYYJAYYRL @sebdot Idk if you ever watched the @ButteryHotness_ analysis on this team, but he explains it really well for not having any insider information. The coaching focus on a complicated system (near post defending esp) wasn't intuitive for very intuitive players. Hesitations killed M80

Nonfiction gets a lot of negative looks by new readers, but the ones you NEED to read here are the ones that will change your life by magnitudes.

First you need to understand what it is to be human; read Sapiens. Then read A Short History of Nearly Everything to learn our world

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

@xocaplex Atomic Habits by @JamesClear . If you're looking to truly manipulate your brain, this book will make you a performance psychology wizard of your own brain. The best part is that it's easy to understand. The worst part is that it's really fucking hard. JC makes it as easy as ever.

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

If you're a fellow bookie, feel free to post your one best book recommendation and your best one-sentence summary!

Fiction:
Project Hail Mary by @andyweirauthor . It's a phenomenal sci-fi, read by the best narrator, about the most courageous space mission in fiction.

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

My bad, it was @Nassrl_ with the best take!

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

Seikoo had the best hot take here; the MENA teams are not as good as their rosters would suggest. I think it's clear to everyone that these teams are stacked with talent, but there's a noticeable lack of team chemistry in both squads.

[Rocket League Esports @RLEsports]

Some of these takes have already aged like milk 🥛

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

You just have to set the time aside to tend to that "fit" and be honest about how you feel things are going. "I feel, I notice, I want" conversations are incredibly powerful. Add "I hear" in the front to summarize what your mates are saying before speaking. Respect leads to wins.

[Prof, PhD @ProfSportPsych]

But it's better if you can do it early, and that is for absolute certain. Teammate connections matter because this game requires trust. Culture strength matters because coaching requires humility and hard truths. Fit matters; we know that in every sport to ever exist.
